Zara Zara Behekta Hai lyrics English translation
Zara zara behekta hai, mehekta hai.
A little by little it intoxicates; it gives off fragrance.
Aaj to mera tan badan.
Today my body and soul (are affected).
Main pyaasi hoon, mujhe bhar le apni baahon mein.
I am thirsty — embrace me in your arms.
Zara zara behekta hai, mehekta hai.
A little by little it intoxicates; it gives off fragrance.
Aaj to mera tan badan.
Today my body and soul (are affected).
Main pyaasi hoon, mujhe bhar le apni baahon mein.
I am thirsty — embrace me in your arms.
Hai meri kasam, tujhko sanam.
I swear by it, my beloved.
Door kahin na jaa.
Don’t go far away.
Yeh doori kehti hai paas mere aaja re.
This distance calls: come close to me.
Yuhin baras baras kaali ghata barse
Let the dark clouds pour down rain like this,
Hum yaar bheeg jaayein iss chahat ki baarish mein
Let us get drenched, my love, in this rain of longing.
Meri khuli-khuli laaton ko suljhaayein
Let them untangle my loose, flowing hair.
Tu apni ungliyon se — main toh hoon isi khwaahish mein
With your fingers — this is what I long for.
Sardi ki raaton mein hum soyein rahein iss chaadar mein
On cold winter nights, let us sleep wrapped in this blanket.
Hum donon tanha ho, na koi bhi rahe iss ghar mein
Just the two of us alone — no one else in this house.
Zara zara behekta hai, mehekta hai.
A little by little it intoxicates; it gives off fragrance.
Aaj to mera tan badan.
Today my body and soul (are affected).
Main pyaasi hoon, mujhe bhar le apni baahon mein.
I am thirsty — embrace me in your arms.
Aaja re.
Come.
Tadpaayein mujhe teri sabhi baatein
All your words torment me.
Ik baar ae deewane, jhootha hi sahi, pyaar toh kar
Once, oh mad one — even if it’s a lie, at least love me.
Main bhooli nahin haseen mulaqaaten.
I have not forgotten those beautiful meetings.
Bechain karke mujhko, mujhse yun na pher nazar
Do not turn your gaze away from me after making me restless.
Roothhega na mujhse, mere saathiya — yeh waada kar
Promise me, my companion, you will not stay angry with me.
Tere bina mushkil hai jeena mera, mere dilbar
Without you, my beloved, life is hard for me.
Zara zara behekta hai, mehekta hai.
A little by little it intoxicates; it gives off fragrance.
Aaj to mera tan badan.
Today my body and soul (are affected).
Main pyaasi hoon, mujhe bhar le apni baahon mein.
I am thirsty — embrace me in your arms.
Hai meri kasam, tujhko sanam.
I swear by it, my beloved.
Door kahin na jaa.
Don’t go far away.
Yeh doori kehti hai paas mere aaja re.
This distance calls: come close to me.
Aaja re.
Come.
Aaja re.
Come.
Aaja re.
Come.
